Question:
And they look forward to it. Indeed, Allah has decreed to bring them down the revelations and the recitation that contains the essence of the house, and thus reading it and taking it out of the house with this axis.
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If these newspapers and magazines contain benefits that you can gain from them, and your purpose in buying them is to look into their benefits, news, or otherwise, then there is no blame on you. However, if you no longer need them, you should destroy them and not leave them in the house with their images, because you have no further use for them. But if these newspapers or magazines contain no benefits or advantages, and are merely indecent, lewd magazines, then it is not permissible to buy them or bring them into the house. Rather, it is obligatory to destroy them, because there is no good in them.
